As politicians strut, squirm and suffer, it is surely time for some light relief.

Said to have been described as “a modest little man with plenty to be modest about”, Attlee says almost nothing.

He sits in his grey suit and puffs his pipe. One wit remarks: “An empty taxi drew up and Clement Attlee got out.”
